Marinating the chorizo in Corona Extra or Modelo Especial renders the meat more delicate and adds a great malty flavor.

Make this recipe part of your Cinco de Mayo festivities. You will not regret it!

Once your Cinco de Mayo meal is planned, focus on creating a festive atmosphere. A fun and simple idea is to decorate the table with the colors of Mexico’s flag. Use a red tablecloth and save time on dishes by using green and white paper plates and disposable utensils.

You can also use some of the fresh produce of Mexico, such as avocados and peppers, to create vibrant centerpieces or decorations. Add bright, colorful hibiscus flowers in between the fresh ingredients to complete the look. Finally, turn on mariachi music to transport guests to the state of honor, Mexico!

Ingredients

• 1 pound Mexican Chorizo
• 1 bottle Corona Extra or Modelo Especial beer

Preparation

1. Start by pricking the chorizo with a fork. Place the chorizo in a non-reactive bowl (glass or plastic) and pour a bottle of Corona Extra or Modelo Espeical over the chorizo. Allow the meat to marinate in a refrigerator for about 24 hours. Drain and discard the beer.
2. Grill the chorizo over moderately high heat, turning until browned all over and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
